Variety description

10 August 2026

The tubers of the variety have an elongated-oval shape. The purple flesh has a dense texture, which makes the variety suitable for boiling, making mashed potatoes, french fries, or chips. Taste qualities are characterized as excellent, with a slight sweet undertone.

The variety has resistance to late blight of foliage and tubers, scab, Fusarium wilt, internal rust spot, and growth deformations. The product is positioned as a specialized potato for the retail market and restaurant segment due to its high antioxidant content.
